	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2293, Florez.   Transportation authorities.
   Existing law authorizes a county board of supervisors to create an
authority or to designate a transportation planning agency or a
county transportation commission to serve as an authority to operate
within the county to, among other things, oversee the maintenance and
improvement of local roads and highways and raise necessary funds.
   This bill would authorize a county board of supervisors to also
designate a transportation planning agency created pursuant to the
Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act to serve as an
authority.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 180050 of the Public Utilities Code is amended
to read:
   180050.  A county board of supervisors may create an authority to
operate within the county to carry out this division, or may
designate a transportation planning agency designated pursuant to
Section 29532 of the Government Code or created pursuant to the
Fresno County Transportation Improvement Act pursuant to Division 15
(commencing with Section 142000), or a county transportation
commission created pursuant to the County Transportation Act
(Division 12 (commencing with Section 130000)) in existence in the
county on January 1, 1988, to serve as an authority.
